Attractions and short trips in Netherlands

The Netherlands is a geographically low-lying country, with over a fifth of its area located below the sea level. This contributes to the country's name (which literally means The Low Countries in many European languages). Precisely these shores make the Netherlands one of Europe's principal tourist destinations.

Visitors may expect many terrific attractions. Besides the Dolphinarium in Harderwijk and the amusement park Walibi Worlds, mention should be made of Efteling, one of the biggest and nicest amusement parks throughout Europe.
